Michigan has added Bowling Green to its 2029 football schedule, locking in an Aug. 25 date — unusually early on the calendar, before Labor Day weekend.
The addition gives Michigan fans another confirmed future opponent, though the school has not said whether the game will be played in Ann Arbor or Bowling Green. Kickoff time and television details also haven't been announced.
Michigan went 9-4 overall and 7-2 in the Big Ten in 2025; Bowling Green finished 4-8 and 2-6 in the MAC. The venue, and everything else about the game, remains to be determined.
